A. Snatch Cluster @ 60%, 1.1.1.1.1 x 5 sets, rest 2 minutes between sets.
     - Felt great to squat snatch again! It's been several weeks. I felt really good on these today. Felt like I was doing a better job of keeping my chest up in receiving position. I was focusing on pausing in the receiving position before starting to recover and that really helped.
     - Weight used was 115# across all sets.

B. Clean and Jerk Cluster @ 60%, 1.1.1.1.1 x 5 sets, rest 2 minutes
      - Used 165# on all sets and felt pretty solid.

C. Close Grip Bench Press on the minute every minute x 2 reps x 8 sets @ moderate weight.
     - Ugggh, bench press. I need lots of work on this. Had a hard time keeping my shoulders packed and was starting to feel some impingement. Worked with 165# on all sets.

D. 15 Muscle Ups For Time
     - Time was 3:00. Not that great but this had a lot to do with how fatigued my shoulders were. I was playing around with my grip and was trying to hold the rings without the hook grip. This actually felt pretty good and it made a huge difference in being able to generate a big kip.
     - I started out by banging out a set of 5. This was not a good strategy because I got tired quick and had to do singles from that point on.
